Freedom Tower

Back Better Than Ever

I remember the desolation and the heartbreak after the attack 15 years ago. I love seeing my city rebuilt, strong, better than ever.  I love NY and lower Manhattan is my favorite part of the city.,

Freedom

I still get chills when I look for the World Trade Center.  It always guided me towards Century 21 and the subway.  Seeing the area alive with construction is heartwarming.  We can be knocked down, but we will rise again.  I gape like a tourist whenever I am in this area.
